The BBC needs knowledgeable Sikh's to articulate the views of the Panth. Anyone with experience in multifaith discussions should apply by emailing the following:

You can apply to be in the audience in our next series by sending an email to audiencetbq@mentorn.tv

We are in the following locations in February and March:

March 6th Cardiff

I understand Hardeep Kohli will be apart of the participants on Edinburgh show.

Yeah, someone with vast knowledge of Sikhi (preferably a relatively young person and someone who can speak fluent, coherent English) needs to turn up. If Kohli is going to be there, we're in trouble. He is hugely intelligent (regarding certain issues), well-read, etc., but has no love or knowledge of Sikhi whatsoever (apart from his own warped understanding of the faith). We cannot allow him to speak for us.

Bhai Sukha Singh London

Bhai Sukhi Singh Bham

Bhai Kuljeet Singh Leicester

Bhai Navreet Singh Coventry

Maybe Baba Mohinder Singh from Soho Road Gurdwara

\Just a few suggestions

Any of these singhs would be excellent to counter any negativity and to think on their feet with Kirpa

Isnt the Sikh Council meant to be dealing with the Media??

Also I would say its very different giving an inspirational speech to fellow Sikhs, as opposed being able to cope with the relentless scrutiny of a room full of educated, articulate, non believers who have no understanding of Sikhi. The guys who represents the Sikhs will need to be very sharp and also understand the mindeset of the people he is speaking to.

What an excellent point. Expect a lot of 'Devil's Advocate' from the host (Nicky Campbell isn't it?). The speaker (whoever he or she will be) needs to be on-the-ball 100%.

FYI - Pyara Bhogul from Birmingham was on last weeks episode (Big Question Episode 8 - no longer available to view online) where they were discussing Karma and Reincarnation from a Hindu & Sikh perspective. Dont get me wrong he is a nice enough guy, but he made such a mess of explaining it. Most of the audience were actually giggling and laughing, it was such a Joke. Why do these individuals go onto national television when they are simply not articulate enough too debate under scrutiny.

The Sikh Council need to own public relations. All this needs to go through them. C'mon Sikh Council step up!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
